Photo of Jazz Hutch & Friends Jazz Hutch & Friends "A nice voice and a very understated and carefree delivery. Not enough cats can just Fred Astaire their way through a song." Based in Calgary, Alberta 12th October 2026 Kurt Elling - Acclaimed International Jazz Singer Photo of The Waltzing Matildas The Waltzing Matildas "We asked Valerie Hudson of the Waltzing Matilda’s to play piano and sing at the Celebration of Life ceremony for my wife’s mother. The event was to celebrate the 99 years of her life. It was a very uplifting and emotional event and Valerie’s renditions of jazz tunes including I Will Always Love You, Smile, Wonderful World, Blue Sky, I’ll be Seeing You and others were very well done and added immensely to the celebration. Thanks Valerie!" Based in Calgary, Alberta 29th September 2026 David White - Celebration of Life Photo of Good Co Good Co "We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!"

His playing was just so lovely at the event. A pleasure to meet him and have him join this event. My mother was so thrilled and it made her birthday very special. Many thanks to Jay. Highest recommendation." Based in Manhattan, New York, United States 31st March 2026 Wendy Waszmer - Cocktail, Jazz & Pop Piano (Jay Noble)
